Today we were finally able to announce my change in employment. For the past month I've been working for a new company called REvolution Computing! REvolution produces a very performant version of the language R, which is gaining a lot of attention with some of the alpha geeks I know and love. They also produce packages using R that do some amazing things. I'll be helping them to get the word out and helping them expand the community of folks using R. I'm especially looking to highlight novel uses of Predictive Analytics
REvolution is based in New Haven, Connecticut, but I'm working out of San Francisco (except of course for when I'm on a plane somewhere or other).
Danese, congrats on the new position! I was an applied mathematics major in college, and have recently as a lark been trying to relearn all the statistics and related math that I once knew but have now forgotten. As part of that I installed R and started playing around with it a bit. While I'm clearly not the REvolution target market I think it's great that someone's doing a commercial offering around R. Good luck with this!
